This is like when there are way too many signs for the restroom at a restaurant - I like to imagine how each & everyone added has a little origin story to tell.
State of US education
I wonder how many times they had people trying to push the doors instead.
Had? I bet you they still have people pushing the doors all the time.
Maybe even more now because the button is perfectly camouflaged between all the useless signs.
I would just stand there looking lost just to see how many more signs could be put up.
So just press the wall anywhere?
No, you’re supposed to rip the button out of the wall and push it towards the exit
As a psych nurse who’s worked a unit with door alarms, somebody is going to have an aneurysm if they have to reset that alarm one. more. GOTDAMN MOTHER-FUCKING TIME.
Sounds like when you start sleeping through your alarm clock, and the phone alarm, and the other other alarm clock.
Happens in IT as well. If you choose to alert on all the things, you’re going to get burned at some point.
What’s a daisy in this context?
It’s a nursing excellence award. Pretty prestigious. You can be nominated by a patient or an employee. They write down why they think you are deserving of one on a card and then a panel chooses who gets awarded. There’s even a runner-up kind of award if the nurse was in the final considerations but didn’t actually win.
oh yeah should have said it’s a nom not a full
Nobody will ever understand alarm fatigue, or its close cousins. Not in history.
Maybe imprison fewer people against their will then
I mean I do think suicide should be legal but I also don’t think we should let people just do it without making them stop for a second and be evaluated to see if maybe there’s any better options for them that a mental illness might be preventing them from seeing.
But what about the emergency described on the door? Does it also apply?
The emergency: the button not working
So is there room to add “if button fails”?
Not even ironically. We have automatic sliding doors where I work, which are designed to open outward if pushed, to allow safe exit in a crowd stampede emergency.
Every so often somebody leans against it, bumps open the emergency mechanism, and trips the alarm. Which is pretty chill, but a staff member has to push it back into place before the door opens and closes automatically again.
Recently this happened, and instead of waiting 20 seconds for a staff to fix it, the customer pushed the doors the rest of the way out, because the door not opening automatically was “an emergency.”
Yes, it’s probably referring to the climate crisis. I think it qualifies as a emergency allowing me to not use the button
Uhm, instructions unclear. Let me find something to break the glass.
Great, I think I got it, but just in case tell me the whole thing again I wasn’t listening.
this movie just randomly popped into my head last night when i was desperately trying to sleep and i couldn’t stop thinking about it. i blame you, for the record.
Oh hey, let me make a treasure map and put the treasure map into the treasure chest and bury it under ground.
Why can’t people find my treasure? Are they fucking idiots or something?
I should probably put more maps in the chest.

There are (still) a surprising amount of people that only ever saw and understood one mechanism 30-50 years ago.
My brain tends to overlook the big BIG buttons. Like when I was on vacation last month and they had a different cashier system and I couldn’t find the “pay with credit card” button. I tried every other button on the screen, until I gave up and asked another person. They looked at me in absolute disbelief an touched the BIG button that took up about half of the screen. To me it just came into existence at this point of time, it just wasn’t there seconds before the other person touched it. I’m really careful about opening doors though, and I surely would have seen “emergency” written on the door.
Yeah, buttons should look like buttons. If it takes up half the screen a lot of people are going to miss it because they’re looking for something that looks like a button.
That’s bad UI, not you. Your brain was pattern matching for something that looked like a button, didn’t lock onto the non-button thing, because why would it?
Especially when almost any other time something takes up half a screen, it’s a goddamn ad.
Now think about the people that need all that and how they treat road signage.
